Why this must be read: I thought I would kick off the AOGG fandom recs with a look at Anne and Diana's friendship, from Diana's point of view. This short story takes the popular "five times" theme and delves into some of the ways Diana Barry Wright might have envied her bosom friend Anne throughout their lives.

I think this is a highly intriguing question, especially about a character whose blemishes are few in the novels, and who represents a point of envy for Anne herself at times. Mardia does a great job capturing Diana "through the years" and her characterization is top-notch.

If you're an old hand at AOGG fanfic, or this is your first ever, I think you'll find it captures the spirit of the novels extremely well.
